Why Choose Albuquerque Charter Bus Company?
You have a lot of options when it comes to traveling around the “Duke City.” Public transit systems like the ABQ Ride and the New Mexico Rail Runner Express serve specific parts of the city and can get you to locations in the heart of Downtown Albuquerque. However, you may run into problems if you want to travel with a large group or have special itinerary needs that require you to travel on your own time. When this happens, it’s best to explore other transportation options like traditional taxis, ridesharing apps, or booking a private charter bus rental.
Taxis are easy to find in most large cities, including Albuquerque, and are convenient choices to travel between your hotel and locations downtown. However, fares can quickly add up depending on how many passengers need a ride and taxis have limited space and passenger capacity. Ridesharing is a more modern transportation option for solo travelers or even groups of up to 6 people at a time. Rideshare services like Lyft and Uber will usually be a more affordable transportation choice, though these services have no shortage of issues such as unpredictable pricing models, surge fees, and difficulty keeping larger groups together.
Organizing group transportation with a charter bus or minibus offers reliable and transparent pricing with a professional driver behind the wheel at all times. The buses in our network have more comfortable interiors and spacious accommodations for travelers compared to cramped taxi cabs and small rideshare sedans. You also have the opportunity to rent a charter bus that suits the individual needs of your group. Albuquerque Charter Bus Company makes it easy to personalize charter bus services to every traveler’s itinerary!
Our Albuquerque Bus Rental Options
Charter Buses
A typical charter bus can accommodate up to 56 passengers and is a great option for larger groups who need to travel over long distances in Albuquerque. They come standard with comfortable amenities such as overhead parcel racks for luggage, plush reclining seats, and powerful A/C. Full-sized charter buses are popular choices for groups traveling out-of-state to Las Vegas or sporting event shuttles across New Mexico for athletic teams and fans. With plenty of storage space, comfortable interiors, and a professional bus driver at the wheel at all times, you can make the most of long hours on the road in comfort and style.
Minibuses
Do you have a smaller passenger count? Opting to travel shorter distances? A private minibus rental will give you plenty of comfort without paying for more space than needed. Minibus rentals are generally ideal for airport pickups, business trips, shuttles between conference locations, wedding guest transportation, and other events around Albuquerque that call for a smaller vehicle.
Sprinter Van Rental with Driver
Planning to transport around a dozen folks? Need something a bit smaller than a minibus, but more practical and spacious than a typical minivan? A sprinter van rental in Albuquerque may be what your group needs.
